Radio 12\/17\/06: LTC Daniel Marvin — Expendable Elite"},"content":{"rendered":"

Our guest tonight is Lt. Col. \u201cDangerous Dan\u201d Marvin, U.S. Army Special Forces (Ret.). He\u2019s the author of a remarkable book, Expendable Elite: One Soldier\u2019s Journey Into Covert Warfare<\/em><\/a>, which documents his service as a Green Beret captain in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

In addition, Expendable Elite<\/em> is about the good, bad and ugly of secret warfare, the first bombarding of enemy safe-havens inside Cambodia, major battles won by Hoa Hao Irregular Forces led by American and Vietnamese Green Berets, the importance of civic action and psychological warfare, and the involvement of US Special Forces in the plots to assassinate Cambodia’s Prince Sihanouk, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and US Navy LTCDR<\/span> William B. Pitzer, perhaps the last victim of the John F. Kennedy case.<\/p>\n

LTC<\/span> Marvin documents retribution and revenge tactics employed by the CIA<\/span> and the White House against its own, and the courage of Lieutenant General Quang Van Dang in his rescue of Marvin’s A-Team, their counterparts and 400 Hoa Hao warriors from a 1,000 man South Vietnamese regiment sent by the CIA<\/span> to destroy Marvin’s Special Forces camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cDangerous Dan\u2019s\u201d mission today: Forcing the U.S. government to recognize the way America\u2019s finest have been sacrificed for political objectives in the past and to ensure that it doesn\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n
